Timely thread even though it's a few months old. I'm tackling the same project. I got 1, 3 and 5 done and went to the other side. 2 and 4 weren't terribly bad but I cannot get the old wire off the #6 plug no matter what I do. I've tried channel locks and and a plug wire tool to no avail. I've run out of ideas and leverage both. And the #7 looks like it will be really fun.
I did spray silicone lube in the wire boots and made it easier to slide on the plugs.
Any advice? Keep pulling?

Remove the booster hose from the booster and undo the secondary air hose on the driver side, battery shield on passenger side and coil packs on both sides. I used a pry bar; put the tip in the groove of the metal heat shield and leverage the bar against the head/valve cover. I put my other hand under the heat shield for support. Two wires came out in one piece, two wires pulled out of the boots, and four wires left the terminal on the plug. I was done the the whole job in about an hour. If you were closer I'd offer to help.
